python has too many uses, really... video game development, website backend, image generation, machine learning, web scraping, even making apps! however, that's not to say it excels at all those things. I might compare it to a 'get it done quick' ducktape language, at times. or at least, that's how I think it shines if you know other languages. use it for prototyping, automation, and one shot tasks like say downloading all the episodes of a podcast and organizing it by date uploaded. Machine learning, python seems to be the go to for it, for some reason. java seems to be able to do it just as well but python is more popular for it

Python is a beginner language. Python is very easy at the beginning. It has a simple Syntax and easy Commands. All in all Python is mostly used for tiny programms or beginners of Programmiering, I think.
